From 1993 to 2000 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife lead an interagency effort to gather baseline population and life history information of this species within the Starkey Wildlife Management Unit in the Blue Mountains of Northeastern Oregon to complement concurrent work occurring in the Cascades of southwest Oregon. This 889 km2 study area was representative of much of the physiographic and climatic conditions east of the Cascade Mountains. Our intent is to highlight information obtained from published and unpublished work of survival, productivity, habitat selection, and home ranges of 65 radiocollared black bears from 1993 - 2000 and to describe its relevance to current bear management in Oregon. The study spanned when Ballot Measure 18 was implemented, so survival estimates for bears pre- and post-Measure 18 are discussed, as well as before spring bear hunts became popular. Because data collection started 2 decades ago, results summarized here provide a reference for managers to compare current and future information describing bear management in Oregon.NoteJames J.
